title: [Occupational health promotion in Germany--2: Prevention of musculoskeletal disorders].
abstract: As a major part of a detailed study about worksite health promotion and disease prevention the standard of prevention programmes for musculoskeletal disorders was investigated. Only every 10th company doesn't offer such programmes. Within these programmes the prevention concept is based on a reduced narrow understanding of musculoskeletal disorders, mainly focussed on behavioural biomechanical risk factors. The organisational aspects of the programmes are well designed. The number of programme participants in relation to epidemiological measures is low. Scientific evaluation of the health benefits of the worksite health programmes is rare.
